More butterflies seen in the area near where the minibus was parked.
I have wanted a photo of a large orange tip settled with wings open for a long time but they very rarely ever settle with wings open and I still have not managed such a shot.
With wings closed they are drab butterflies but this was the first time I photographed one fairly well.

Taken looking straight down. Same iris that I posted before covered with raindrops. Taken 3 days later with warmer temps, very windy so a bit OOF but had to try. Tried to get just the tips. Better ones to follow at some point so may not keep this one.

Today I want to share with you a watercolour top tip. I know watercolour can feel intimidating to some people, but the method I want to talk about today makes watercolouring more approachable. I love the look of loose watercolouring, but there is a lot of skill in letting go and painting in a loose style. However, a more achievable approach is to tackle the painting in layers. Pop over and watch the video!

Unfortunately this example has it's wings closed, so this is showing the splendid camouflage to the underside. The Orange tip Butterfly is a true sign of spring, being one of the first species to emerge that has not overwintered as an adult. The male and female of this species are very different in appearance. The more-conspicuous male has orange tips to the forewings, that give this butterfly its name. These orange tips are absent in the female and the female is often mistaken for one of the other whites, especially the Green-veined White or Small White.
